I missed the homophobia in the Taylor Swift video and didn't agree with the cries of racism. This is terribly cute, though all but one fraternity brother need to really commit to those dance moves!

I do hope that you are serious in your quest to put an end to this harassment. To be honest, I don't come here much anymore. There are too many trolls and I use my real name...so yeah, please get a system in place and also, why hasn't this happened already? This is a long standing issue. Women are people too.

Hmmm-now it is gone. Hopefully a lawyer called them.

OMG PEOPLE DO THAT?

I'm quite happy with it the way it is, myself. Not calling attention to the attitude will just allow it to continue to spread unchecked and unopposed. If we don't call them out on it, then we just make it that much easier for them to spread their vileness.

I think this again highlights what another post from last week was saying about how people just do not understand depression. He was not a 'coward', he was being crushed under a weight so heavy no one can even imagine it unless you have the misfortune to live through it. He couldn't go on anymore despite his fame,

I'm in the middle of this company tech thing, but I want to say this: this is exactly the right thing to do when people aren't paying proper attention to a real problem; it's not something I completely ignored but I obviously didn't give it proper attention, and I'm sorry about that; give me about 24-48 hours to

At pretty much every blogging job I've ever had, I've been told (by male managers) that it'd be a death sentence to moderate comments and block IP addresses, because it "shuts down discourse" and guts traffic. But no one's ever shown me any actual numbers that support that claim. Does anyone have any? Not that I think

Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with. Banning didn't usually result in the same person immediately making a new

I just want to write dude, not dismiss bloody rape gif trolls every day. It is the worst part of our jobs to hear from commenters that they can't discuss, say, a teen girl being great at Little League without some person boasting a burner account using the collective comment thread as a chance to harass people.

For what it's worth, I want to apologize to our readers who are forced to interact with these violent gifs regularly. The point of Kinja is to create a better platform for discussion and those discussions CANNOT happen when you're inundated by such traumatizing material. It's this person's goal to shutdown

What bothers me about this is that we don't record IP addresses so as to protect these burner accounts for people who might want to tip us anonymously about a story. So the company is seemingly placing a priority on making these hypothetical tipsters feel safe over the safety of the actual real live women who write

The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.

Well, you for starters, apparently.

I was less put off by the insensitivity of your comment than by how obvious and unfunny the joke was.

I've just gone ahead and assumed this is a premeditated murder, so I figure it was the "OK it worked" scenario, and maybe that was the real purpose of the lightbulb drop-off, to check.

That almost sounds like something he'd talked about doing before, and she was either happy/upset/scared/satisfied (I don't know her motive) that he actually did it.
